A Model To Follow Series

Contributed by Kevin Ruffcorn on Dec 9, 2008

John shows us the model of preparing the way for the coming Savior, but preaching the good news in the wilderness--good news of love, forgiveness, new life and a relationship with God.

A Restored Vision

Contributed by Blake Inscore on Sep 26, 2008

I believe it is God’s desire for His church to begin seeking Him today so that we can catch HIS vision for what He wants to do through HIS Church.
